OV Running for Paris

We are very excited to learn that OV Rose Harvey (K 03-10) has been selected for the Great Britain team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

A mere four years ago, Rose was working full time in Corporate Law. Having been made redundant during the pandemic, she shifted focus to running with the aim of making the Surrey County running team. Rose’s first marathon, however, was so good that her time won an invitation to the England Half Marathon team.

Following this, Rose joined Puma as a professional athlete, which allowed her to train full time. Since then, she has represented Great Britain at the World Championships, became British Champion at the 2022 London Marathon, and in October 2023, Rose ran 2:23:21 at the Chicago marathon, placing her sixth on the British all time list.

Commenting on her selection for Team GB, Rose said, “I am beyond excited to have been selected for the Great Britain team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Of course, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone in my team who has believed in me and supported me along the way. Follow your dreams. They might just become your reality.”

We wish Rose all the best for Paris!
